Mint color manicure includes a palette of different tones of greenish blue. Unlike turquoise, there is more green in it, which makes it soft and fresh. Mint tone can be delicate light, rich bright or even dark. Depending on the impurities of other tones, it can appear gray-mint, mint-turquoise, warm or cold.

Mint manicure is combined with many things of a woman's wardrobe. At the same time, it can be quite bright, but at the same time not defiant. This shade is suitable for women of different ages and adherents of different styles of clothing. Moreover, this color goes well with many shades of the color palette. Due to this, it can complement women's clothing of different colors.

In choosing a contrasting shade, mint prefers soft and muted tones of the color palette. For example, these can be pastel shades, powdery, flesh tones and neutral colors. The most harmonious companions of mint in manicure design can be combinations with:

• nude;
• white;
• silver;
• gray-pink;
• coral;
• light orange;
• peach;
• fuchsia;
• purple;
• black;
• gray;
• dairy;
• sandy;
• pink;
• pistachio;
• blue;
• green;
• lemon tone;
• coffee;
• blue.

Of these combinations, the most fashionable in the new season are duets of a mint shade with a gray or pink tone. For a summer design, you can choose mixes with lemon or light yellow tones, as well as a combination with beige and turquoise. Contrasts for the cold season can be cool. It is better to choose bright paints for summer, however, they should not prevail, otherwise the mint color will be lost against their background.

Today the market is replete with offers of varnish products of various textures and effects. For example, a mint manicure can be done using gel polish:

• matte;
• glossy;
• temperature;
• chameleon;
• magnetic;
• jelly;
• shimmery;
• with sequins;
• mirror;
• craquelure.

Each type of varnish has its own characteristics, which determines the appearance of the design. For example, chameleon coatings adapt to different lighting conditions, due to which the mint tone can appear more yellow, green, or, conversely, bluish. Jelly analogs are distinguished by a translucent texture, which is considered fashionable today.

Glossy and matte finishes take the first two places in the top of the best varnish products for mint manicure. Both matte and glossy pigments are great because they are the basis for any technique. Matte varieties enrich the design with the velvety surface of the finished coating. In addition to velvet, today they can imitate velor, velveteen and satin.

Mirror lacquers or metallic finishes are also among the favorites among the top finishes of the season. Today, such a design is considered not only stylish and catchy: it betrays a woman who follows the fashion trends of the nail industry.

Among other methods, one can identify several of the most relevant ways for mint manicure to create a gentle and modern design.

Lunar manicure is nothing more than nail design with accentuation of the holes at the base of the nails. At the same time, today it is not at all necessary to select all the holes on two hands: often for the expressiveness of the design, only two or four accents with such a design are enough.

French manicure in mint color is ideal for everyday women's bows. The bow or the so-called smile can be made with white varnish or black line, silver. Given the craving of the modern jacket for asymmetry, it can resemble a diagonal line, as well as an imitation of a gradient stretching to the middle of the nail plate.

The inverted jacket differs from the classic one in the place of drawing a smile. If in the traditional version it is located at the edge of the nail at the top, then the reverse jacket is distinguished by accentuation of the cuticle area. This technique is fashionable today, moreover, it allows you to design this type of jacket not only with contrasting varnish or silver outline. The design option with an accent in the cuticle area in the form of a bow made of small rhinestones will look stylish and effective.

The gradient technique allows you to demonstrate all the versatility of the mint color. This can be achieved by using several related shades for design at once, stretching from light to dark as imperceptibly and naturally as possible. A similar design looks gorgeous if the gradient accent nails are rubbed in.

This technique is one of the most trending today.Against a mint background, the pattern she gives looks especially beautiful and impressive, such a design attracts enthusiastic glances from others. This effect is created using a special film, which is cut into small pieces, and then fixed on accent nails, applying the elements close to each other. It should be noted that this design looks especially realistic on a light-colored coating.

Painting on nail plates is one of the best ways to decorate accent nails. To do this, use special devices that can make images both voluminous and flat. One of the most popular prints of the new season are polka dots, stripes and geometric shapes. At the same time, there can be several contrasts on a mint base. The main requirement for them is a harmonious combination not only with mint color, but also with each other.

The focus is on single color designs, single color prints. If earlier a rather complex picture on the nail was welcomed, today, on the contrary, lightness should be felt in the image. It is good if a part of the nail plate with a mint background is open. Lilies, dandelions, feathers, leaves, twigs, trees are gorgeous images that look harmoniously on a mint base.

Marshmallow designs are popular, which depict ice cream, juicy fruits, cats, Teddy bears, and all kinds of bunnies. Snowflakes made with the use of acrylic powder, as well as patterns of knitted fabrics, look beautiful on the dark mint background of manicure.

In the new season, fashion strives for minimalism and lightness. This was reflected in the amount of sparkling decor used. If earlier the nail plates were literally strewn with a scattering of Swarovski crystals and small rhinestones, today this approach to decorating a manicure is devoid of expressiveness. The abundance of gloss is perceived badly, such a design is doomed to fashion failure.

To make the decoration truly beautiful, the dosage of shiny decor is important, because it should not compete with women's jewelry and bijouterie. To look like a royal status, it is better to focus on the texture of the varnish, rather than sculpt bulky stones on all nails. A line of rhinestones can be vertical, rhinestones can be used as single accents on the same designs, lace or stickers if appropriate. Rhinestones can mask the joints of contrasting pigments that cover one nail.

Stones or rhinestones can be used as the middle of a flower, a cat's eye flare, a tree bud, a peacock feather "eye", and even a hare's tail. Such decoration will look better than laying out a shiny decor over the entire nail in the shape of a heart or a geometric shape.
